Lost all numeric characters in windows XP

[BigouTremblay]

The tech in the office upgrade my computer from win98 to XP professionnal. The tech install Office 2003 (except Access). After that he install Access 2000 (I cannot upgrade to Access 2003 now for some reason).
Everything works fine escept I lost all the numeric characters when I try to open or print a report? The tech told me that it's probably a printer's driver problem but we try a lot of drivers and the problem is still there. I'm not an expert so if someone can help it will be very appreciate.
Thanks.

In my reports all the alphabetic characters are diplay and all the numeric ones are not. Besides of that all my reports seems to be the same than before.

OK some more info. When I send the report to WORD all the numeric characters are display...
Here an example of the ACCESS 2000 report.
Is Access 2000 is compatible with Windows XP professionnal?

YEARS TITLE CLASSIFICATION POSTAL CODE

**** Claude **/**/** J*H *D*

All the * are blank in the original report.

Yes it's compatible.
Also, there's no reason you should not be able to use Access 2003.

So these are blank when you view a Print Preview?

Did this report work fine before?
Does it happen to other reports?
Does it happen on other machines?
Does it happen on other printers?
Does it happen in other databases?

You have run out of "number" toner or ink ;-)
